of good and evil
once there grew a garden
of great and mighty trees
flowers of great beauty
but also ugly weeds
their petals never wilted
the green leaves never turned
winter never came there
fire never burned
children came to play
to climb the highest boughs
to pluck as many flowers
as their small hands would allow
some trees had lovely fruits
figs to please the eye
ornamental oranges
the apples of a lie
though they held great beauty
had colors to alure
they held worms and maggots
and tasted of manure
innocent of this
the children picked this fruit
and were poisoned by their evil
for evil was their root
in lands of yellow wheat
those young folk became tares
but they didn't know it
and so did not despair
and so they played and frolicked
so this story goes
and good appeared as ragweed
*and evil as a
ROSE*
